I am very much an amateur when it comes to taking photos. I know that if I like the look of something, how an object or landscape is composed, I feel its often a shame not to take a photo of it. I had never really used film until recently, in fact the advent of digital cameras brought me to towards using film, which I find a little ironic. I don't have a particularly fancy film camera- just an old Russian Fed 5, which is probably about 25 years old. It's very unpredictable but thats the beauty of it. On the digital side, my first camera was a great little Fuji finepix 4800. I then passed that on to my dad and got a Canon Powershot G5, which took great pictures but was just too big for me to wield on a regular basis. Now I have a Panasonic Lumix FX-8, which is small and packed with features- yet I still yearn for a Digital SLR.

In previous incarnations of this site I had set up a simple walk through of my favourite photos that I had taken, in chronological order, which I updated by hand. Now I'm very much into getting things automated and as simple to use/update as possible, and as such I am using flickr to upload my most recent photos, as well as some older picks. I definitely recommend checking out my flickr photostream and photosets for my latest albums and photos, as well as the geophotos link above which ties in my photos and where they were taken geographically. Very cool.

All the panorama's below have been stiched by hand using photoshop, or with some propriety canon software provided with my Camera and then retouched.
